Definitely not, broke the trust and lost the respect of what I consider to be several really cool board members, along with looking like a dumbass in front of a ton of people.

Be glad it didn't turn out like this...

When I was in college we had a party at a guy's apartment and some dude who was a friend of a friend showed up, went into my buddy's room later in the night and took the keys to his 5.0 Capri and tried to steal it. Someone caught him in the parking lot cranking the car up to drive off. As you can imagine, being at a party chock full of boozed up hooligans, he was ready for the cops to come and pick him up not long after. In a bizarre twist of fate, he somehow managed to fall down in the parking lot and injure himself not long after being discovered.

The funniest part is that the dude would show up about once a month for a year after that, in his best Sunday clothes, knock on the door and beg my buddy to not press charges on him. I think he brought his mom and grandma one time.

Sucks about the car, that was one nice ride.

Definitely sucks about the car, it did ~223MPH at the Texas Mile before the latest round of mods. He told me it was completely in flames within 15 seconds! It was a neat car and I'm glad I got a chance to drive it with the twins on it before this happened. :-(

I thought I heard you say he had plans to set it up for the mile one of the last times I was up at the shop. Definitely a clean car, white with the blue stripes is definitely a favorite color combo of mine. How much HP was that supposed to be putting out after the last round of mods?

Kumar (owner of Ford GT) drove it to the party, let multiple people drive it through out the night, he get's drunk, Chuck Acosta asks Kumar if he can get the keys to the GT to check it out, Chuck and I go to check out the car, Chuck says "man this would be awesome to drive, we should go around the block", we get down the street and around the corner, he and I swap seats and I drive it back to the house, whole party is outside waiting for us, we're asked to leave, and I take 99% of the heat for it.

Not my brightest moment.

Chuck Acosta

Ohhhh, wow. Didn't know that.

[motoman]

It is what it is. You have to consider who it's coming from and then it's not a big deal. lol.



Who was the other guy? Board member?

Chuck Acosta

[Chili]

Damn, that sucks. Sorry for Kumar.

I was there the night of the joyride but didn't hear about it until a couple of days later.

Have you not said enough stupid shit in this thread? Kumar has a lot of friends on this site and I'm sure hes fucking pissed that his car burned to the ground. No need to kick the guy while hes down, moron...

How was that kicking him while hes down? I am sure he is pissed as well.

[Rick Modena]

I heard he was getting ready for Fun Ford but did not have enough time trials.

[motoman]

Which one was driving?

Just fucking with ya man, I really don't see what the problem is (was).

Haha. It Chuck's idea to take it around the block, my dumbass said "ok now let me drive".
